Arpeggio Geo:

I could like to comment about your trials and tribulations counting during workouts. My brain is fairly neurotypical, and most of my friends are smart. I have a job that is highly analytical and math based. Further, I play bass instruments including bass clarinet, so am used to counting for 450 measures playing a few notes then falling asleep with my eyes open in the conductors direction having completed my instruments contribution to the piece. All of that and yes, i seem to lose my ability to count to any number higher than 1 during a workout, as such, my joining a crossfit gym is largely about having someone to fill in all the bits of my brain that go to sleep like the aforementioned bass clarinet contribution. Motivation, counting, workout design is what I pay for at the premium gym, not the work out itself. You are not alone in being aghast in this potential exercised induced cerebral malfunction.

About the Podcast

The Geologic Podcast is a weekly podcast consisting of personal stories, comedy sketches, news commentary, music and movie reviews, science advocacy, original songs, and interviews. Its host and producer is musician, composer, drummer, comedian, storyteller, TEDx speaker, event emcee, and vigilant defender of the Theory of Gravity— George Hrab. The content often draws from Geo’s musical career; the music industry in general; his adventures as a semi-almost-famous critical thinker; his fascination with language, culture, and science; and ranges in tone from incredibly serious to unbearably silly.
The show’s name is a portmanteau of “George” and “Logic,” and—quite confusingly—the show contains no geology content whatsoever. Recurring characters on the show (all portrayed by Hrab) include Dr. Damian Handzy, Mortimer, Minoishe Interroberg, Rupert McClanahan and many others. The podcast content varies from week to week, but often features several of a number of recurring segments including Interesting Fauna, Ask George, Geo’s Mom Reads Jay-Z Lyrics, The History Chunk, Horror-Scopes, and The Weekly Standard. George looks at his show as a type of “brain sorbet” for those who may need the occasional respite from the “coarses” of life.
The podcast started in February 2007, and George has rarely missed posting one episode per week ever since. Just ask his therapist.
